They did to Bill Monroe what Flogging Molly did to the Clancy Brothers. Great stuff and excited to be playing with them next weekend!

Wow, luv it! Do they do any of the bluegrass festivals? Like Winnfield per chance-which I've had to miss the last 2 years! Oh well. Cant believe I haven't had the pleasure of hearing this group before!

I think the music video concept is genius. I love how serious some of the people were in their critiques.

It's a woman full of contradictions. And believe you me, I've got a handful of those.

I've been on a bit of a Classical/Baroque/Renaissance Music kick. Been listening to Pachelbel's Canon in D, Ave Maria (both Schubert and Gounod), and Requiem by Mozart, as well as Die Walkure by Wagner (a song that was clearly written with the Bell UH-1 B/D in mind), and while painting downstairs I have been listening to the Sacrae Symphoniae by Giovanni Gabrieli.

Ride of the Valkyries got me in mind of Apocalypse Now so I am now listening to The End by The Doors.

Huh, Vamrat, I never knew you were a classical guy. There are a bunch of you on the board!

Editing a piece and listening to The Offspring, "She's Got Issues." Another one of my theme songs.

Well, I'm no huge fan of hip-hop, but I admit there is an element of genius in some of it. This one here will always be my favorite rap song; not because I praise its message, but because I appreciate the brilliance of how a particular lifestyle and worldview is articulated. Of course, 90% of the musical credit belongs to the Isley Brothers. Brilliant video as well!(WARNING! Graphic lyrics and video content)

I remember many years ago having a heated debate with a friend about why I thought Ice Cube was as talented of a musical artist as Bob Dylan; in fact, more so. My buddy just couldn't comprehend it. But I argued then (and I argue now) that Ice Cube is a better poet and a better arranger of musical composition than Dylan, not to mention a better vocalist. But personally, I'm not a fan of either one.

In all seriousness, NWA, Dre, Snoop, etc all are women haters and I couldn't be too sanguine with their hyperrealistic arrival as "villains". Too much junk for my liking. Sure it's naive to take their fronting seriously, but I would count on Dre having a woman take more than the whole eight.

I was too embodied with Chuck's love affair with Farrakhan and the throbbing smartness of De la Soul.

Now as far as my credibility in hip hop is concerned, my favorite philosophical/spiritual/sexy/funky/catchy/wet dream of a group: PM Dawn.

I was reminded of this album because of the songs from '93 by Ice Cube and Dre/Snoop. Back then MTV played the above three songs at least once every hour of the day*. Didn't mind looking at Alicia Silverstone, but they totally killed those songs. Also our first introduction to Liv Tyler before Jason's beloved LOTR came out. Good times.

*For you young ones, you may not believe this, but MTV used to play music videos. No, really, I'm being serious. Fine, don't believe me.
